CocktailsandMovies.com Whaddya Got On Tap? – Week of 02/09/18

by Tim Barley and Duwayne Tso

Trains, rabbits and lovers

Well, we’re heading toward Valentine’s Day next week, so you knew that the finale of the 50 Shades series had to drop. But, at least we get a new Clint Eastwood film about (and starring) the men who took down a terrorist attack on a movie Paris-bound train. So, something for everyone. Let’s take a look and ask everyone “Whaddya Got On Tap?”

Official Synopsis:Feature adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s classic tale of a rebellious rabbit trying to sneak into a farmer’s vegetable garden.

CocktailsandMovies.com’s Take: The newest trailer makes this look like a lot of fun. And a good voice cast may sell it.

Duwayne’s Pick:The 15:17 To Paris! I am a big Clint Eastwood fan since I first saw him in those spaghetti westerns and even more so now that he’s a director. I love the movies he directs and love that his last few movies have been about real people and events. The way he directs a movie is best suited for this kind of storylines. It will be interesting to see how he is able to direct the real heroes as the leads in the movie. It should be interesting.

Tim’s Pick: I’m behind on movies by a week or two, but I’m agreeing with The 15:17 To Paris.
